Looking to up date from 4.09 to current

[Sct13]

OK so here is where I show that I don't know (remember) enough to do this properly...

I found/remembered an exe file that I labeled "Original_il2fb.exe" so in desperation I clicked on it!!! Guess what??? the game roared to life! However its all in Russian and none of the mods or rudder pedals throttle etc work. IT was in the backup folder....

So I went ahead and ordered a new copy because I cant find my original..... doh! and will reinstall....

What I need to know however.....does the exe file get altered or replaced by the this patch? if so what is affecting it? I know it probably too lengthy to explain it. Just looking to see if I can get this fixed before I delete all the mods for space.

would any one want to share an image of a "vanilla" install folder maybe I could take out all that should not be there and work from the exe that works?

Or just wait for the disc.....

No, the original EXE is not changed by patching.

Thank you,

I think what it does is check to see if the file is there and if it is, it leaves it alone, if its not there it will write another (the installer) I tested it. It did write a file but No Joy for the game.

I screwed the pooch good on this one.

what are these files:

Rcu

fb_683e3.rru

il2fb.exe.ori

I ask because these files are not in the backup folder. And their icons look different.

Just await the amazon order I guess....

The only one existing is 'Rcu'. The second one is unknown to me and the third one looks like a backup of the original IL-2 executive file (I have named it exactly the same ).
BTW: If the game is in russian (and wasn't before) its most likely a wrong EXE. Try the one above!
